Invasive, non-invasive, and minimally invasive technology are all available for use in the pursuit of body contouring. Liposuction is one option, but there are many less invasive treatments, such as cryo lipolysis, injectable lipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, and laser lipolysis. The primary objective of body contouring operations is to get rid of excess fat and make the treated region firmer.

The worldwide market is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of obesity caused by poor lifestyle choices. Demand for these methods is predicted to rise as improvements in their safety and efficacy lead to longer lifespans.
